Nature Publishing Group Announces OA Journal

Human Genome Variation, the sixth journal collaboration between NPG and JSHG, is a sister title of JSHGs Journal of Human Genetics. Katsushi Tokunaga, a professor at the University of Tokyo, will serve as editor-in-chief. The journal will feature original research articles, summaries, reviews, and data reports. Its audience is human genetics researchers and clinical geneticists.

The journal will provide a forum for scientists working in human genetics, variation and mutation to publish their discoveries, results, analysis and insights, says Dugald McGlashan, publisher of NPGs Asia-Pacific academic journals.

Authors may choose which Creative Commons license to apply to their research articles, which will be OA on publication.
